CINCINNATI, Ohio - For only being a high school senior it seemed as if Adolphus Washington had done the interview circuit before. The four star defensive end from Taft high school gave Ohio State fans the second best news of the day (if reports about Urban Meyer are true) when he announced his commitment to the Buckeyes in front of his family, teammates and media at his school.

But more than that, he was very articulate as to why he chose the school that he did. It had been well chronicled that Ohio State was supposed to be a team on the decline, or at least that is what people would like you to believe.

What did Washington say after he got off of the podium? We were there and have the latest from the most recent member of the Ohio State recruiting class.
